God’s Perfect Timing

2 Peter 3:8 “But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.” [NKJV]

God’s timing is always perfect, He is never too early, and He is never too late.

Approximately 8 months ago, I received words of encouragement from an individual that works in the medical field. Those words inspired me to make some much-needed changes in my lifestyle. These changes that I made, based on the words of encouragement I received, helped me with turning around a diagnosis I received from my doctor.

To show my appreciation to this individual, who gave me the words encouragement, I gave them a daily devotional and a thank you card. Inside the card I wrote “thank you for your words of encouragement, they were greatly appreciated.”

Upon receiving the devotional and reading what I had written inside the thank you card, this individual responded to me saying “you don’t know how much this means to me. I have been going thru some difficult times lately and what you just gave me is what I needed right now “it is right on time.”

When we allow God to lead us with what we say or do, not only will it always be “right on time”, but it will also be a blessing to others.

I encourage those of you who might doubt the timing of God to read the scriptures listed below, and by faith believe that “God’s timing is always perfect.”

Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” [NIV]

1 Peter 5:6 ^“Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time,” [NKJV]

Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding; ⁶ In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths.” [NKJV]

Psalm 31:15 “My times are in Your hand; Deliver me from the hand of my enemies,
And from those who persecute me.” [NKJV]

Isaiah 55:8 “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord. [NKJV]

Ecclesiastes 3:11 ^“He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.” [NKJV]

 

Father in heaven, thank you for your timing that is always perfect, in Jesus’ name…Amen

Psalm 23:5 “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over.“

Starting with Adam and Eve in the garden, God has made provision for his people.

Genesis 3:21 “Also for Adam and his wife the Lord God made tunics of skin, and clothed them.”

God is not “stingy” with His blessings, and delights in seeing His people prosper. Scripture tells us that it is His good pleasure to bless His people.

Luke 12:32 “Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.”

Not only is it God’s good pleasure to provide for His people, He provides in abundance. The psalmist stated in the 23 Psalm that their “cup runs over.”

2nd Corinthians 9:8 “And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.”

God gives increase to His people in proportion to His infinite resources, not just a minimum amount out of His riches. The blessings of God do not have an expiration date; He is truly a gracious God.

Philippians 4:19 “And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”

Father in heaven, thank you for your abundance, in Jesus name…Amen!
